2013/05 - Syrian President Bashar al-Assad
51 people were killed and more than 100 others injured after explosions shook a Turkish town on May 11 near the border with Syria.
Although Bashar al-Assad's regime denied that it was behind the deadly explosions, the suspects were said to belong to a Turkish Marxist organization with direct links to Damascus.
Then on May 23, Syria's main opposition group held a seven-day talk in Turkey's Istanbul, deciding to refuse negotiations with Assad's government. |
